OBJECTIVE: to identify the profile, production and evaluation of professionals from the Americas and Africa in Specialization Courses on drugs. METHOD: a retrospective and documentary study, based on secondary data, using the registration forms of all versions of the Specialization Courses to train researchers in alcohol and other psychoactive drugs (2002 to 2015), promoted by the Ribeirão Preto Nursing School, University of Sao Paulo. RESULTS: a total of 258 individuals participated, 62% from South America and 38% from North America, Central America and Portuguese Africa. The majority were female (77.0%), aged 30 to 59 years old (81.8%), with a master's degree (51.2%), from the health sciences area (79.5%), and working as university professors (82.6%). Of the participants, 176 completed the course with publications and submissions of scientific papers. In the final assessment, most reported satisfaction with the course and that they would recommend it to other professionals. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the study presented the results of a successful experience, organized and offered by Brazilian Nursing, in the training of researchers, providing the expansion and dissemination of scientific knowledge about the drug phenomenon for more than a decade, both in the national territory and in other American and African countries.
